I am doing a program it requires for press a key to exit
this is what I have done, but can't figure out how to keep doing.
program TestGrades;

uses crt;
const
Sentinel = -1;

var {Declare Variables}
NumberGrade, {Number of Grade is entering by user}
Counter,
Grade : integer;
Average,
Total : real;
{---------------------------------------------------------------}
begin {Main Program}
clrscr;

NumberGrade:=0;
Total:=0.0;
begin
repeat
write('Enter a grade or ', Sentinel, ' : ');
readln(Grade);
if Grade <> Sentinel then
begin NumberGrade := NumberGrade + 1;
end;
until Grade = Sentinel;
Total := Total + Grade;
end;
writeln;
writeln('The Total is ', Total:1:2);
Average := Total/NumberGrade;
writeln('The Average is ' ,Average:1:2);
readln

    I do not understand what you mean by 'keep doing'? keep doing wot???
    If you mean you want the program to keep on repeating until the person presses a certain key then thats easy.
    var
    response: char;
    begin
    ...
    ...
    ...
    repeat
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    response:=readkey;
    until response='q';
    ...
    end.

    where you replace q with the letter you want to exit when pressed.

    dude, u gotta put a ; after your last readln.
    and if u just want to end the program on pressin a key , try this
    [ uses crt;
    var anything:char;
    BEGIN
    anything:=readkey;
    END.
    ]

    doing this makes the user not have to press enter.
